Bengals players report for an offseason conditioning program on Monday. They might have a new, yet familiar teammate.

Harrison impressed the Bengals during meetings Wednesday and Thursday, according to published reports.

Asked if Harrison could help the Bengals, an anonymous Bengals source told NFL.com, "We think so. Really good attitude, really good personality."

Harrison said he was pleased with the trip, during which he met with owner Mike Brown and coach Marvin Lewis. "Had a good visit with Mr. Brown, Coach Lewis and The Cincinnati Bengals Organization," Harrison tweeted Thursday night.

The report indicated that the team would likely sign Harrison or former Miami Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby. The Bengals are looking for a strongside linebacker to go along with middle linebacker Rey Maualuga and weakside linebacker Vontaze Burfict.

Unless something sours pronto, Harrison will be their man.

The Steelers reportedly asked Harrison to take a 30 percent pay cut from the $6.57 million he was scheduled to make in 2013, but he declined and entered the free-agent market. The Ravens initially were interested in Harrison but that disappeared when they signed Elvis Dumervil.

After finding little other interest in the free-agent market, Harrison expressed interest in returning to the Steelers, but they reportedly had decided to move on. With that in mind, he would certainly look forward to two games against Steelers should the Bengals bring him on board.

Dansby would have been an interesting fit, having played in a 4-3 defense. He also is 31.

Harrison, meanwhile, does things the Bengals lacked with Manny Lawson at linebacker. He brings ability the ability to rush the passer and drop into coverage.

A knee injury cost Harrison three games last season, but he was back in form by season's end.

And now, Harrison has a chance to show the Steelers they made a mistake in letting him go. The Bengals and Steelers meet twice each season.
